About the Conference
With technical assistance from the Department of
Homeland Security’s Science & Technology Directorate, the eighth annual
IEEE Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security HST’08, will focus
on novel and innovative technologies, which address the most pressing
national security problems.
The conference will bring together innovators from
leading universities, research laboratories, Homeland Security Centers
of Excellence, small businesses, system integrators and the end user
community and provide a forum to discuss ideas, concepts and
experimental results... in parallel tracks in non-overlapping technical
sessions.
New this year: A structured session on Detecting and
Protecting Against Terrorist Surveillance.
Call for Papers
The Conference is seeking technical papers in the
following matrix of tracks and technical sessions (see below). Technical
papers submitted should focus on near and next generation
technologies capable of deployment within 5 years. The paper focus
should be on applied research, addressing hard problems where
breakthroughs are needed.
The First IEEE Workshop on Design Methodology for Global
Security will immediately follow HST’08 on Wednesday, May 14, 2008. See
website for details.
